The seller was very very quick, I recieved my order within two days of purchasing.

Ordered it before Christmas and didn't expect to get it until afterwards but actually got it 2 days before, very fast shipping it out.

When he won a coveted admission spot to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, local kid Jake Huard thought all his dreams had come true--but his battle to become the man he wants to be is only just beginning. Now, uncertain if a regular kid from a poor blue collar family can fit into the Academy's pressure-cooker atmosphere, and barely making the grade as a Freshman "plebe," Jake has one last shot at proving he has what it takes to become an officer in an institution that boasts a venerable 137-year history of focused discipline and determined excellence. With nothing left to lose, Jake decides to enter the notoriously fierce Navy boxing competition known as the Brigade Championships--and face off against his arch-nemesis, Midshipman Lt. Cole. Everything Jake has ever hoped for stands in the balance: the chance to make his father proud, to validate his Lieutenants faith in him, to stand up for his fellow plebes, and most of all, to forge a different future. This movie is a formulaic, predictable and yet reasonably likable movie.

This is the typical story about a young man living in South Philly and with his father, He has a job in the shipyatd where the Father is the Foreman. He has an attitude yet is not a bad guy. By hard work work and a break he gets into the Naval Academy where he is considered an outsider because of his attitude and lack of desire to ask for help, Yes, of course there is a woman, there is always a woman!!!!!!! The Film however is fun. The film does have one shortcoming when he and the company commander do not see eye to eye and the LT always states that he knows what a real officer is and what makes them good! Yet, I don't see that he does. An officer doesn't make it personal and he wouldn;'t allow those who are overweight to stay so. He also doesn't think he is better then every other officer either. Despite this the fiklem is fun, well acted and it was nice to see the personal growth of the cadet and how the uperclasss chief handles her feelings for him and his for her for a year. I have left some out but overall it is a nice romantic, peresonal growth and is realistic in that we do have guys like this in the service alot. I enjoyed it and gave a 5 star

This is really a boxing flick, although there is a sub-plot in there somewhere about a bunch of young people trying to make it through their first year of Annapolis. The Naval Academy, along with West Point and the Air Force Academy, is well-known for its hazing and tough first year. The protagonist of this one is a rough-cut young man with an aptitude for boxing. The plot really focuses on his shot at the Academy boxing championship. The result of all of this is that the plot, if there is one, is confused because this film never really decides what it wants to be about: surviving the first year of Annapolis, or boxing.

A watchable movie but not what I was expecting. RJB.
